You know a song is truly great when the crowd sings along to the guitar riff

[ItzBwo]

The Killers are simply timeless! What a great performance!

[danielkknauer]

They would be a perfect Super Bowl Band. It’s in Vegas and they have songs everyone has at least heard of

[benitocamelo]

One of the best songs ever, so euphoric and nostalgic, truly a 00's song

[samhirschfield]

They’re so freaking good even 20 years on

[AshokKumar-whgg]

Thank you BBC for The Killers.. This song takes me back in time... over a decade.. They were great back then and are still today!

[LOVER_LINK]

the killers are at that phase like an 80's band performing their hits in the mid 2000's

[woydkes]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Period.

[Nerflover]

Brandon is a perfect frontman he’s got so much talent

[funlittlefish]

The Killers were my absolute jam when I was a kid! I remember blasting this song and Mr. Brightside on my MP3 player 🤣 Their music just had this energy that got me hooked from the start. It's crazy how their songs can still transport me back to those carefree days of my youth. I wish there were more bands like them around now, the only band now that give me that feeling is The Doublejumps. It's a band from my home country (New Zealand). Highly recommend.

[Joshua-gopj]

How? They continue to be one of the best bands ever. You cant deny what they have achieved

[mrsnulch]

Nothing better than revisiting a band you listened to many years ago and seeing them play live, and they still look, sound, and perform great. And don’t complain about having to play “old songs”. They love their career and keep that train rolling. A beautiful thing. By the way I’m watching this because my cousins and I are performing this at my sister’s wedding next week 😂 ROCK ON

[tonyparkin]

Brandon is better now than back in the day. His voice is more tuned.

[hmac]

Love these guys, Brandon. From such humble beginnings. Gotten me through so many hard times. Thankyou.

[notactuallytesco]

Quintessential Killers. Amazing set, and my favourite song performed to perfection. Lovely stuff.

[medson_]

A vibe dessa música, parece ser uma mistura de nostalgia com tristeza e alegria ao msm tempo... Sei nem explicar! ❤

[shaughnessy]

This was the first song I ever perfected on gh3 expert level haha still remember the notes to this day off the top of my head haha

[lebavu]

Jesus Christ they have so much energy live.

[ThisIsDownstate]

has to be one of the best rock songs ever recorded. i'm not even a big killers fan but i accompanied my dad to see them in London years ago and they blew the fucking roof off. absolutely incredible live and the memory of the atmosphere of when they played this song will remain with me. Seeing my dad enjoying it like a teenager and jumping around was so amazing. It was like i got to hang out with my dad in the 70s just for one evening haha Love ya pops !

[melcrawford]

They are amazing live in concert . ❤🎉🎼🎶🎵🥁🎤🎺
